Year 3 were very luck to take part in a Yorkshire water workshop this week.

We got to find out lots about how water reaches our home.

Did you know all the water in the world has been here since the world began, there is no new water!

We got to see how water is taken from reservoirs and the process it takes through the water treatment works.

We found out lots of information about what we can put in the toilet and what we shouldn’t put in. We saw how toilet paper breaks down in the water but baby wipes stayed the same. Things like baby wipes can get stuck in pipes and cause them to get blocked. This could then cause a burst pipe because water is very strong.

We also found out lots of ways we can save water as there isn’t always enough. We do things like turn taps off when we are brushing our teeth, taking a shower instead of a bath and water flowers with water we wash our pots with. It is really important to save water because in the summer lots of water gets used and the sun soaks it up too.
